Renaissance’s Equity Fund Sinks 7% in Rout: Hedge Fund Update

Jim,

Does this make you feel better about the market that even RIEF is down?

Neverthesless, I am sure Medallion is making a killing through its stat arb operations just like in the 2007 financial crisis since it is mainly market neutrual.

Regards
James

Jim Simons’s Renaissance Technologies saw its quantitative equity hedge fund tumble 7% last month as stock markets sunk.

The Renaissance Institutional Equities Fund, which only trades U.S.-listed stocks, is down a similar amount so far this year, according to a person with knowledge of the matter. The strategy is biased toward stocks that its computer-driven models expect to rise.

James, Interesting. Thank you. - Jim

Thanks for sharing James,

I guess superman (RT) wasn’t fast enough to get out of the way either!

well they are 100% long I assume. So anybody who is 100% long is gonna lose money when the market drops 10% right?
